Last night was my first night training with Lisa, I'm giving marker training a try with both Riggs and Ruby.

Ruby caught on rather quickly "touch the pole get a treat..." Ruby is a pig.

Riggs is a little slower on it because he has zero manners taking food (or toys for that matter) so I have to fix that first. I've done no training with him for about 8 weeks now, so he's way way way out of listening mode which isn't helping either.

I'll keep you updated!

What is this marker training you talk about? Rory is ok but stubborn (as some of you know) is there a site or book you could reccomned for this. Its not clicker training is it? She didnt respond to well to that and I rather use hand signals, she likes those better. She has done a couple of obediance classes but I'm always looking for ways to improve her obediance!
Good luck to you!
